Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 376 IPC for the crime of rape, affirming the lower courts' reliance on the prosecutrix's testimony despite the appellant's claims of contradictions and the prosecutrix's character. The Court emphasized that the testimony of the prosecutrix, corroborated by medical evidence, was sufficient to establish the guilt of the appellant beyond reasonable doubt. The appeals against the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's appeal were therefore rejected, maintaining the sentence of rigorous imprisonment for seven years and a fine of Rs. 2000.
